Re: [Placeholder] Primer - Reanimator

thanks for the primer. Sneak and show player in paper but wanted to try this deck. Now that I decided to give renting decks a go on MTGO, I decided to try it.

is there a lot of good content on the deck on youtube or anything similar?

Re: MTG, the Corona-Virus Pandemic, and future events.

10-12 weeks is an absurd amount of time but probably a necessary precaution. Let's see how this impacts MTG/LGS attendance

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

I'm interested in seeing the Temur turns and superfriends lists. I know Temur Urza lists have been around for a bit now at this point. Is Humans good again now? The Temur Turns list is by that wonky quadruple sleeve Turns player, Daniel Wong. He does a lot of work for the deck. I've literally not s...

Re: MTG, the Corona-Virus Pandemic, and future events.

sit down restaurants in most of Canada have shut down, with fast food places closing their seating and only allowing take out or drive through so I understand a mall with a food court shut down. Most malls themselves reduced their hours. I'm gonna spend my free time with MTGO and my PS4. My work has...

Re: What reprints would you put in Pioneer Horizons?

Sakura tribe elder for some good mana fixing? There's no decent fetch lands in this format, so the elder would help a lot. sakura tribe elder would probably be fine in the format but it seems super hard to fit into the format without a "pioneer horizons" type set or going back to Kamigawa...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

If your goal is to be on the best deck, you will ALWAYS be limited to around 3 options, and its not particularly relevant to most of us, because the meta is irrelevant unless you need to. I just want a good play experience, which means minimizing games that are overwhelmingly one-sided. Right now t...

Re: State of Legacy Thread

I'm a paper sneak and show player, which is sort of a poor choice right now because of Oko. I have really been considering getting mana traders or something to rent decks on MTGO and wanna try reanimator, is that deck poorly positioned because of Oko right now too?

Veil is awful. Full stop. I hope that things is banned by the end of the year. As for Astrolabe, it's hard to separate out the experimental diversity (I.e. people who are playing around with Astrolabe in different builds) from the true diversity (I.e. different viable Astrolabe decks coexisting).

shopping malls here are now closed. Only supermarkets and drug stores are allowed to be open.

So I expect malls in other areas to follow suit....

Jund also seems like a tier 1 deck; we all know how much this is going to last. i also expect jund players to flee into those snow piles. Why play Jund (a pile of good cards) when you can play 3-5 color piles of good cards *and Blood Moon*? Side note, COVID-19 may be causing skyrocketing MTGO price...

Re: [Poll] Is your wallet fatigued in this format?

after 5 months of running the poll --- it's 31 fatigued and 5 not fatigued. I guess many modern players in this forum at least.. have tired wallets.

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

I was kind of hoping that they would ban something from titan decks this b and R. Amulet was what I was hoping for but I guess OUAT is fine too, as it made it a lot easier to find pieces. I have a buddy that plays amulet that is fine with the OUAT ban for the same reason. It keeps the deck playable ...

I don't think I'd like to see inverter banned this time around.

Dig is just a massive mistake IMO too, ...
